Reed Flute Cave is the single most impressive site in the city of Guilin, when you’re talking purely about a visual spectacle. It consists of massive caverns filled with stalactites/stalagmites and numerous pools. Yes, the multi-colored lighting is a bit tacky, but it makes for some nice pictures. My favorite place in the cave was the “dragon’s lair”—a HUGE chamber with what looks like a treasure mound in the middle and several pools of crystal clear water.
(Note: The price is an estimate, since I don’t recall exactly what it was.)

General Directions:

northwest of the main area of town (not really walking distance from town)

Tips:

This place is really popular (for good reason), so it’s advisable to go first thing in the morning. The walking tour throughout the caverns lasts about 50 minutes or so. The walk itself is pretty easy (proper footpath and steps), though it can be quite dark at times. Be prepared to be accosted by local merchants selling all sorts of souvenirs as you leave the site.
